900-1150AD.
Tula is best known for its huge 15 foot basalt “Atlantes” (giant

a western movie set, with the wild growing cacti and trails crossing
old overgrown train rails hidden between them.

This ride takes us down into a canyon along rivers, where wild horses
roam, to ‘Los Organos’ a sacred place forgotten in time. Los Organos are
also called 'Peregrinos Petrificados' as of this big rock formation in
the middle of nowhere it is said that “the Pilgrims were turned into
stone because they did not want to continue their pilgrimage”.

A late morning yoga session is taken by 'Los Organos' and the river as
goats and sheep graze nearby. This river is mixed with a volcanic warm
spring so it is quite nice for a swim after the picnic, while the horses
are resting. Homeward bound we pass through the village of Heroes de
Carranza with its church dating from 1697, then a last nice canter along
the lake shore, arriving at the ranch late afternoon. (Non rider option

Riding groups are kept small - usually 4 to 6 riders with a maximum of 8 riders per horse guide.
Rides are suited to any riding level, from complete beginner to very experienced riders.
Advanced riders have the opportunity to enjoy really great, faster paced riding.
Less experienced riders can go out with a separate guide to ensure that everyone gets the best experience.

we are able to send you out together as one group but with 2 wranglers,
giving you the opportunity to ride together during your stay.
We take a great deal of pride to ensure that whatever length your stay
is, your experience leaves you with unforgettable memories. We organize
our rides to be varied and to provide an insight into the local area,
giving you a flavor of the different terrain and landscapes of this
beautiful part of Mexico.

The Horses
The horses are in excellent shape,
easy to ride, sure-footed at every pace and trained to accommodate
riders at every skill level from absolute beginner to expert rider. Currently
there are 30 mixed breed, Criollo, Azteca, Quarter amongst others,
suited to confidently handle the variety of terrain this wonderful
countryside offers. The herd consists of geldings and stallions - but
not to worry they are all very well behaved and get along just fine due
to the way they can freely roam and form small 'famiuly units'.
The corral is located beside the barn and you can spend some time with
the horses and help with feeding or grooming whenever you feel like it.
After the rides you can treat your horse to a sugar or watch the sunset
from the paddock wall. If you love horses you will fall in love with
ours. Each one has its own character and yet is trained to be responsive
with any level of rider. Our Wranglers work hard to ensure that the
horses are always at their best in terms of fitness and training.

Staff
There are around 15 staff members, some of whom speak English, German
and French, as well as Spanish. Almost all of the team is Mexican,
including the wranglers.
A permanent, dedicated staff is employed to ensure that your holiday is an unforgettable one.
The quality of the service we provide is paramount to our success. The
expectations are high and our staff are well-trained to accommodate
guests from all over the world.

Other options
Mexico has a lot to offer and we
suggest participating whenever possible. Just having a drink in a local
store lets you have a glimpse at how the locals live. Local Fiestas Every village holds fiestas
periodically. There are many Saints to be celebrated, many Mexican
holidays and often also the unexpected horse race in the middle of
nowhere or a Charro or Peales event in one of the small villages in the
region.
We will check dates and plan to attend if you are interested in experiencing this part of the rich Mexican culture.Evening Entertainment Every evening we have an
enjoyable four course dinner with occasional live Mexican or
International music. Colorful folkloric events may also be presented on
special occasions here at the ranch including traditional dance and
music. You may even be invited for an impromptu Salsa lesson.
Do you play an instrument? Why don't you bring it along?

Relax

billiard, darts or one of the many games we offer. Take a drink at the
bar and learn to prepare a Margarita or Piña Colada on your own.
Use the hot tub, read one of the books from our library, take a massage
(optional) or take a stroll along the river and visit the surrounding
'Cascadas' (waterfalls).

Climate for
Las Cascadas Yoga Retreat

333 days of sunshine a year

Thanks to its special
geographical situation in a valley at an altitude of 7'500 feet above
sea level and protected by high mountains, the weather conditions are
very tempered and the sun shines almost every day.
The average daily temperature all year round is of approx. 75ºF. Only depending on the season the nights get more or less cool.
The ranch is open and operating year round. Guests often ask... "which
is the best time of the year to visit?" The only way to answer that
question is...

EVERY SEASON HAS IT'S HIGHLIGHTS

SPRING- March - May
Changes take place. The local farmers start to prepare their fields for
the corn crops. The plough makes it's way through the acres drawn by
oxen or horses.

Imagine passing by farmers working the fields in the way they have done for generations. Go back in time to a glorious past.

SUMMER - June - August
Known as the 'rainy season', which is (unfortunately for the farmers
here) not really the case at our place. Due to the geographical
situation (we are in a valley at an altitude of 7500 ft) the clouds
can't gather as much as in other regions of Mexico. But we do get the
occasional shower (downpour) of an hour or two in the evenings or at
night (last summer we had a total of aprox 20 individual 'days' with 1-2
hrs of rain here).
Just enough to allow all of the usually dormant plants to bloom,
creating spectacular vistas of vibrant color, with cosmos flowers
everywhere.. see pictures on the left. This is for me the most beautiful
time of the season. The nights are cool and in the morning a bright
sunny blue sky awaits you for another perfect ride.
Imagine cantering through millions of cosmos flowers, like floating
through a sea of blossoms, the horses almost hidden in the fields
covered with pink.

AUTUMN - September - November
Until the dry season begins at the end of October there are still
flowers everywhere. Now harvest arrives... The local farmers usually let
the corn dry until the end of November and then take it in, using it
primarily to feed their animals during winter. They grind part of the
crop to make the meal for the famous tortilla.
Imagine listening to the wind whispering through the dry, high standing
golden corn fields, while you cross between them into the sunset.

WINTER - December - February
The driest season with practically no rain at all. This means that the
fields are very dry, painted a golden color against a brilliant blue
sky, spotted with green cactus and mesquite bushes the exception.
Imagine late afternoon, as you ride through fields set afire by the setting sun. A spectacular image you will never forget.

What to Bring for
Las Cascadas Yoga Retreat

All
year round at midday we have temperatures of approx. 24º centigrade / 76
Fahrenheit. In the mornings and in the evenings it is good to have some
long sleeved shirts or sweaters to take on the rides. It is always good
to pack something of both so you can’t get wrong. Don’t forget your
swimming trunks, if you like to use the hot tub or swim with the horses
(depending on the weather).

For
riding we recommend jeans and short boots. Training shoes are not really
apt for riding as you may not be comfortable and get stuck in the
stirrups. In any case you may buy short leather boots in the markets
around here for about US$ 25.- to US$ 35.- depending on the size.

A pair
of bicycle pants underneath your jeans can be helpful for beginners or
guest which have not been riding for a long time (to help prevent rubs).

We do
not provide riding helmets, if you want to use one you will have to
bring it along. Most people here use only simple sombreros against the
sun (you may also get them at the market) as it can be really hot
beneath the black helmets… but this is your decision.

The sun
on 7500 feet of altitude is very strong. We highly recommend a sun
cream with high protection factor which you should use daily. The hotel
is fumigated against mosquitoes and there are normally not many around.
